I’ve noticed a lovely trend, that those who heart homewares also have a thing for stationery. Just ask anyone on the HomeStyleFile team and you’ll soon discover we’re all stationery mad. And I couldn’t be any more crazy in love for stationery than that made by Australian company Ask Alice – www.www.askalicestationery.com.

Based in Melbourne, Ask Alice are the creators of seriously cute and quirky eco-loving, tree hugging stationery. Their range is based around beautiful illustrations like Papa Pooch who has been printed on 100% recycled paper, packaged in a biodegradable sleeve made from corn. How cool is that?!

The range currently includes books, postcards, gift tags, envelopes, greeting cards, art prints, and I just adore the Ask Alice craft kits. In addition to loving stationery, I love gift wrapping presents and making them look as special as can be, so the Parcel Packing Kit which contains gift wrap, 12 sticker labels, 5 meters of handmade twine, 5 crafty gift tags and one very special pair of handmade fair trade scissors with their own little organic cotton pouch is a lovely kind of gift for me.

Ask Alice seal their coolness with the offer of FREE postage Australia wide on all orders. Yes, if you hadn’t already, go right ahead and fall head over heels with this gorgeous collection – at a great price point, free shipping is just the cherry on top.
